On the morning tucn-eding the lain celebration of the 4tl," one of the Clerks in the l'ost Othce of this city, received a summary cheek on tho tow-path ; and another Clerk in the same office, taking umbrage at the mode of exercising littla niW authority," dismissed himself.

Tho ndministrali n of Mr. Polk plunged tho country into an unnecessary war, with the intention in part no doubt of gaining some eclat by placing itself at the head of a war party. It did not teem to fore sen that there would bo much fiVhting and obviously hud no idea of what has since taken place. It expect ed to cover itself with cheap laurels, and to grow rich upon gasconade But battles have followed, and laurels have been won, though not by them or for thein. We are plunged into a war of conquest, and as one of tho legitimate results of such a war, those who do the work of contguent, arc most in the way uf its spoils. Mr. Polk sent out his reapers and expected them to bind their sheaves of glory and bring thorn in as a gonoral Imrveat ol his own. The harvest of glory ti n been reaped, but the reupcrs neom disposed lo hold on upon it. Mr. Polk and his administration at onco, discovered the uam;er to a republic, of allowing tha military idea to predominate. They stand, like tho fool in the puddle, raising an idiotic cry of distress ovor a dilemma into which they have brought themselves and the country. Will some advocate of tha present war, inform us in whit instance a wir of cnmpiest ever did do tub PKurXK, of the conquering country iuhstauti.il benefit? Is it not the feature of all wars of conquest that suite military chief, or a few military chiefs, are aggrandized with tho glory and the sioils, while the main body of Ilia people are left to pay the expenses? Tho object ion to military men for civil offices, does not penetrate tho dill'multy, but merely sticks in the bark. It is only one of the evils that follow in the (ruin of war. Why stop to inquire about principles? The principle of a war of conquest is not a principle of righty but of pineer. Ilight Ins nothing to do with it. It is meru matter of uduvil tako the hindmost. ' It is an in Kili m te lint for giin, enforced by bayonets and cannon ball. Tho act of setting such a war on foot is demoralizing in nil its tendencies; and justice is thrown in the slndu by the rank growth of rapino. All notions nf equity, all doctrines of peace, are drwnod and overborne by the rattle of arms and the tread of military hosts. It a pitiful and sorry spectacle, to see an administration set on foot such a state of alfiirs: but when the poisoned chalice comes homo to its own lipi, how miserably contemptible do they appear in public ot'unition, by attempting to dig up and mike a show uf the doad body of public virtue ! A brawd teaching virtue, and di'sciuting upon tho proprieties of chastity ! Mr. Polk and his Union objecting to the elevation of inililiry nmn ! Preaching serin ms ah mt dangorom precedents ! If tkrij hid done their duty, thure would he no need of all this preaching. And it is the very least of all the matter to be regretted, that they nru the first to bu hung on the gallows intended fur others. Gen WoolTo tho Ohio Volunteers. tiour.it3:T, July rth, HI7. Wm. fl.

The entire lino of march was accompanied by a smart shower of rain, which pretty thoroughly drenched the military and thoae not protected in carriages. Mayor Quincy, on receiving the President, addressed hun thus : Mit. PltfMhEJT : In behalf of the citiiens of Bos ton, I welcome tho Chief Mngiitrate of thu Union to the metropolis of Massachusetts. I welcome you as officially the representative of those whose fathers stood by ours in thu days ol the Revolution, and of the twenty millions who now with us constitute this great Confederacy. 1 welcome you, as a tale. man, to an acquaintance with the men ami to an examination of the institutions of New England ; to an acquaintance with men whoae industry, intelligence, and en terprise have clothed tins barren soil with plenty, and made it the abode of art and science, of virtue and reli gion; to an examination uf our institutions, pnrlicularly of our free schools, the peculiar institution uf our land, by which, with the blessing of Heaven, we hope to continue a race n intelligent freemen, who Will un derstand, maintain, and trausmil the liberties and virtues uf their lathers to the end of tune. We receive you as we havo received your predecessors in omee, and ask that you will grant to u, as they did, the honor of considering' you the guest of the city, during your slay among us. I o which add reus the rresiueni repueu : Mn. Mayor: For this manifestation of welcome from tho capital of New England, I feel the most ardent sensations of irratitude In the history of my country I have read of your free institutions of learn ing your common schools and it is with no ordinary IVi'linif nl nli-HHiiro tlml I nnv inv firt visit to this trreat city, the ground which these noble in-lilutions Tiavo hallowed as peculiarly their own. v un you, sir, i r.gree thai upon the intelligence and virtue nf the IM'opte depends thu perciuity of the free institutions under which we live ; and 1 hope that during my short sojourn among you I may become personally acquainted with many nf those excellent men who have maile your city so celebrated for its benevolence and liberality.Arrived at his quarters, Iho President was waited upon by (lor. Ilnggs, who having been formally introduced to the President, addressed hun as follows, in behalf of the Commonwealth : Mn. Phkii uf nt : In the name of the citiiens ot Massachusetts, I lender to you, as Chief Magistrate nf the United States, their respect, and bid you welcome to the hospitalities of the Commonwealth. t should be happy, sir, if your official duties would allow you the lime, to go with you throughout our Statu and show you our people and their institutions as they are. 1 should be pleased to have you go among our farmers upon the mountains and in the vullcys.aud upon the distant cape, that you might see the ditlicult.es they have had tn encounter in cultivating a hard, unvieldintf soil, when that sod is com oared in fer tility and productiveness with the rich bottom lands and wide prairies oi yuiir own great " est ; io go into the shops of our mechanics, the factories of our manulaetorers, the. stores o our merchants, ami tne marts of commerce, upon the docks of uur seaports, and upon the dicks of our merchant vessels and well equipped whalo ships; to show you our colleges, aca-di'iui' s, and seminaries of learning, and go into our district school, the cherished objects of the people of the Commonwealth from their rarbest settlement ; and to visit with you the templra of religion erected in every village and neighborhood. 1 know, sir, you would be pleased to witness the raried and persevering industry oi our people. But, sir, while the cilucns of Massachusetts are engaged with untiring jtersevcrancc in those avocations by which they hoH to promote their prosperity and hnppinesa, they remember that they belong to that great family of stales, over whose destiny you now oreside by the sutlrages ol a irea people, lo tins Union our people, individually and as a stale, acknowledge their obligations, and they intend faithfully and always to fulfil those obligations. That Union, under a general government, conducted according to the provisions of tho glorious constitution rslaliliMhcd by the wise patriots of a past generation, Mesdily pro. greasing in the principles of iiltcrty, civiliialmu and Christianity, Ihey trust in Heaven will he perpetual. We shall ever rejoice to see your administration contribute to that important and dcnirahle end. The President replied to the Governor substantially to the following ellect, hut somewhat more at length. Sir: In receiving from you, the chief mngitrale of this ancient commonwealth, the welcome with which you have honored me, 1 am sensible that your purpose is to recognise a great principle. I feel that it is the ott tee wlueli I hold that you wish lo honor, and while you honor it though me, I feel that 1 am but the humble representative of the people for the time th'ing, and that though linn honored, it is only as their accountable aervmit. I hear with deep satisfaction of the prospeity of the the iicuple whom you re present. 1 should he most happy to extend my visit throughout your commonwealth ; to visit your com mon schools, your acsdeiuics and higher seminaries of education i lo visit your workshops, your mauuiacio. nes i to visit your agricultural districts, and wiinesi the prosperous labors of your hmhandmen. All this would give me pleasure, but it would be incompatible with my public duties. In a few days 1 must return lo the seat "I our common government. Your allusion to the Union meet my hearty res ponse. There is an altar at which we may au wor ship. However much we may differ about local or temporary questions of policy, on the question of the Union we are united. Wo are all agree lo preserve it. We recognise the Union, in all our public acts. Wo recognise it now and here. In this imposing wel come, which you have extended to me, I see but Ihe fact that the whole Union is receiving honor from one of the states which form the Union. IJTWe wero thrown quite intoa flutter yesterday by receiving in our bag from the Post Otlice the follow ing Lie tier irom the rublie old friend Major jacn Downing, who seems to havo written it to us for the purpose of communicating to the Public, in his plain way, some views of President VoJ.KYmmg Hick ory, as he delights to call him which that distinguished functionary had not thought necessary to con. iidc to ins most confidential friends before he met with the Major Aut. Intel. On board the Stmmboat on fang Island Sound, hound to Connecticut and Down Fast, Juris ld47. Mr. G a Lit i & Beaton: My Dear old Friends : I and Mr. Buchanan and the rest of us overtook tho President last night at York, where we found him pretty well tuckered out, having got through with all his birds-egging in thateverlastin great city, and ready to push on this morning down t.ast. l was going to write a line to friend Kile hie, as ho's the Government Editor, as soon as I could ketch up with the President, and let him know how the old gentleman stood the journey. But 1 happened to lonk into your paper, and I see brother Ingeraoll, of Philadelphia, sends his letters to you. Tins pux zlrd nie a little at first, because 1 knew he was on Mr. Kitchie's side. But 1 looked along, and 1 see he called your paper a ' powerful journal;" and then the thought struck mn that I had read somewhere that "there's a power behind thu throne greater than tho throne itself." Well, thinks I, that Ingersoll is a cunning feller, but he nil 't a going to get a head of me. If he writes to the power behind Ihe throne, I will loo. So, if Mr. Richie complains, and says 1 ought to wrote to him, I wish you would iust smooth it over to him. and tell him the reason of it, and tell him when the old ship gets on 'tothcr tack, and his paper get on bo- hind, 1 II write to him. As I had come right on from Mexico the shortest cut, and had brought a letter from Gineral Scott to the President, as suon as wc got to York I run right up to the tavern where he stopiied, to give him the letter- Folks told me that he was at the Astor House that great tavern made out of hewed stone. So 1 went up, nnd went in, and asked one of tho waiters if Colonel Polk put up there r ' Is it Jemmy Polk ye mane ; Young Hickory, the President ?" says he. ' Sarlain," says I- " Yes," sava he, " he's hero : up stairs in his room." Says I, ' Show me his chamber as quick as yuu can ; I must see him." "You can't see him to-night," says ho; "Young H ickory is tired out, and can t sea nobody at all at all. Why was'nt ye on hand in the Governor's room if ye wanted to see him ? All the boys had a chance there." Sayg 1, "that's nothing to the pint; 1 was on the road from Washington then, and I'm going tu see the .'resident to-night it 1 havo tu go through tho stone walls of this house for it." Then along come Mr. Slulaon : and says he, " Patrick, what's the ruw here?" " Here's a feller getting wrathy," says Patrick, " because I won't let hun gu up into the President's room. At that Mr. Stutsou turned round to me, and, as soon as he siren me, he kclclied hold of my hand, and, says he, " Major Downing, J am very happy to see you. I'll show you right up to the President's room ui)"elf. I'm sorry yuu wus'nt here before. We've had some very pleasant lea-parties since the President's been here.'" When 1 got into tho President's chamber lie was laying down on the bed lo rest, and looking as tired as a rat that had been drawn through lorty knot holes. But as soon as he see me, he jumped up, looking rather wild, and says he, " Major Downing, how are ye i 1 did nl think of seeing you back from Mexico m soon as this. How does tilings go on there now?" Says I, Colonel, they don't go on hardly at all. They are wailing for mure help. Scott and Taylor both arc growing rather red and angry to think you should chuck 'em away into the middle of Mexico there, and then not send 'em help to fight the way out again. And it seems to me, Colonel, you do hold back in this business a little too much if you don't send 'em help pretty soon, them guerrillas will est our little amnes all up. " Why, Colonel," says 1, if this war had come on in the lime of the old Gineral, my old friend Hickory, he would a had them Mexicans half whipped to death by this time. But there's a letter from Scott, to tell you what he thinks about the business, I come on post haulo to bring it. He says he won t stir from Puehln till you send on mure men to take the place ot all them that coming humo. The President took the letter and read a few lines, and threw it down upon the table ; and, says he. " It no use; Scott may growl and grumble as much as lie s a mma to, hut it s no use. I his wor is a concern uf my own getting up, for my own use, and I shall manage it just as 1 please. Bays fie, " Major Down ing, there's reason in all things. I don't want them Mexicans whipped too fast, especially when ttietn up- utart Generals get all thu glory of it. When I found Taylor was swellin up too large, I meant to a stopped him at Monterey and draw olf a part of his glory on lo Scott. But that Talor is a headstrong chuo. a ilange rous man. He overslept his duty and blundered on tu thai victury at lliiena Vista, that sot everything all in a blaze. 1 shan t overtook it in him very soon. If the selfish ereaturo had only let Santa Anna irive him a handsome licking there, wo might a had peace in a little while, for I had things all arranged with Santa Anna to wind tho business right up tn such a away that we might each of us have made a hand some plum out ot it. But that unpardonable Taylor must cut and slash round with his handful of men, untutored volunteers, that 1 thought were as harmless as a Hock of sheep, and contrive, by that awful hlun-dcr at Buena Vista, tn pour all the fat into the fire. "Well, then, Scott lias nt behaved much better. He's licked the Mexicans too fast by a great sight, and is swelling himself up in thr eyes of thu people shamefully. 1 thought if i could a sent Colonel Benton on there, he would a squecxed the glory out of both of em in a nine wnue, and settled cm down so they would nl a been dangerous. But that vagabond Sen ate would nl let me do il. That was too bad, Major, when them two Generals were atlractingall the glory thai belonged to me, that the Senate would nt let me doanythiug to offset them. But 1 11 let em know that Young Hickory is nt to he beat any more than Old Hick ory was. 1 ve sent Mr. 1 rist on to look after matters and to see that the armies don t go too fast ; for 1 am determined that Scott and Taj lor shan't whip the .'lciicnni any issier man is prudeni. All the glory inni a io come out oi tins war lairiy De longs to me, and I'll have it." ut," says I Colonel, you are a going to send on more men, ain't yon f Or what are you going to do? How are you going tn wind the business up t Says he "Tm too tired tn talk over my plans tonight. Bui there's no need of your going right hack lo Mexico yet. Mr. Tnst is there, and 1 can trust him to look after matters, and yuu better in mo into the boat with us in the morning anil take a trip down East, and wo can talk the subject over at our leisure. About nvn o clock in tho morning Ihe President rameti away at my door, and waked me out of a sound sleep ; and when he found 1 was'nt up, says he " Ma jor, yoU must be spry or you'll be too late, fur we're on at six. 1 was up and dressed about the quickest, and went nut, and fact, there was a quartern!' a mile of soldiers, all ready to ecorl us to the boat. And down we went, through whole streets full of men and women and boys, and gals, of all sorts and sises, some running and crowding, and some hollering and hurrahing, and in a lew moments wo were aboard the stramlioal and the hell rung, and Ihe steamer puffed, and otf we wentun the Sound towards Connecticut. The President had a little room alt to himself, and ho made me go right down into it with him, and he sot down in an cany uhair, and put his feet on another, and says ho, "Major, I'm glad to gel nut of the crowd again ; we u nine a lew hours ut rest ami comiort on this voyage. This Ih'ing President, Major, i mighty hard work ; but after all, I like il. I've had a glorious tune of it in New York. Every body was running after me, and it seems as thoiiuh I bad seen every thing. I leel as though I had lived through a whole year in these three days, and 1 don't Mn-vc any body ever received more honors tn so abort a space of time in this country." " w ell, says 1, " ij olonel, it seems lo me a pity you Md the folks at Baltimore the other day that you should retire when this term was up. You might go two terms, as old Hickory did, just as well as nut, you are so popular. At that he gave ine a luck in the ribs and a sly wink, and, said he, Msjor, don t you understand thai? Telling of em I should'nt stand another term iajust the right way to make 'em the more fierce to have me. Don t you know Anthony said tVsar refused tho crown three times, jt si so as to be more sure of having it placed on Ins hed? And jenl see how Santa Anuais working it now in Mexico. When he gets pretty near run down, and shivering in the wind and nothing to stand umui, be sends in his resignation, with a long patriotic seeeb about shedding ihe last drop of his blood lor his country, and all that, and the cnple refuse to receive Ins rcmgnatinn, and cry out long live Santa Anna ! 1 and away he goes again and drums up another army of soldiers. " But, to tell Ihe truth, Major," said he, " when I made that remark at Baltimore I had some little notion of retiring. Out parly was so cut up, things ooked rather dark ahead, and I find tin Mexican war something uf a bother after all. Taylor and Scott eon t so many blunders, 1 had really then some no- turn of retiring when this b rm is up. But, since I got along tit New York, things seem to look brighter. I'm popular, M.jr; 1 know 1 am. I ahould ul be surprised if the Whigs made a demonstration in my mvor yet. They seemed very fond ot me in new York ; and bo did every body, every body you could mention; even the market-women took me by the hand and called me young Hickory, and gave me lota of fruit. Thore, do you see that pine-apple on the table there f '' says he. "That was given me at the Fulton market, as we were going over to Brooklyn on Saturday. Cutaway, major, and help yourself to it; it's a nice one. And here's a paper of most excellent tobacco," says he, " that was presented lo me at the same time. You go into the nine-apple and I'll go into the tobacco, and then we'll have a little more talk about the war." Jest as wo got cleverly under way thru, sung out aboard tho boat for the passengers to get ready for lauding. So 1 must cut my yarn otf here for the present; but likely as not you'll hear from me again. I our old friend, MAJOR JACK DOWNING. Rapture between Gen. Ncottand the Stnte Department.The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Cuminerce, prepares us in the following letter, for a rupture between Gen. Scott and the State Department : Washington, July 1st, 1847. I have learned to-dsv. from a hich and entirely au thentic source, which I am not at liberty to mention, that Gen. Scott, as the commanding officer of the army, and charged with the invasion of Mexico and the conquest of peace, has determined not to allow any interference with his authority, from Mr. Tristor any other person, whatever may be their instructions irom the mate Uepartment. Acting ascommander-in-chief, he has responsibilities which lie could not sustain under any divided authority. In time of actual war and invasion, and in the presence of a foe, a commander must necessarily use his own discretion iu all intercourse with tho enemy, for all regular diplomatic intercourse is necessarily at an end. The commander becomes, sx necessitate, tho only diplomatist and negotiator. It is for him to hold inch intercourse with the enemy's government as the utiagei of war, in civilized countries, allow. To control his action by any civil agent, would be to deprive him of the authority belonging exclusively to his station, and to retard and embarrass all his operations. It may be considered as certain that Gen. Scott wilt sustain all the rights belonging to his station and peculiar' situation. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Wasimsotoh, July S, ft!7, News has reached this city that the rupture between Oen. Scotland Mr. Trial widens materially. It was well knuwn by leading men in this city, long ago, that Gen. Scoit had anything but an exalted opinion of tins nir. l rist, and mat mr. 1 rist was tar trom being an admirer of Gen Scott. Why, then, was Mr. Trist, in preference to all other man, sent out to Mexico to act in concert with Gen. Scott or to thwart and obstruct the course of that General t When Gen. Scott obtains possession of the city of Mexico, and Santa Anna, who will have escaped, is still found to be the President of the Republic, with whom will the treaty bo made ? If it is made by Gen. Scott, it will bo made only with a bona ids Government of Mexico. There will be no sham or humbug about the matter! II Mr. Trist makesit.it may be made with any sort of irresponsible characters ! The idea that Mr: Trist has already made a treaty with tho Mexicans, which is on its way here, and which idea has been briskly circulated over the country, lias been started, as is suiinoncd, for the benefit of certain stockbrokers! It wuiiido we have no peace yet! POTOMAC. Dedication of thn New Jewish Bynagogne in New York On Friday, the Synagogue, recently erected in Wonater street, between Spring and Prince streets, was dedicated lo the service of Almighty God. bv the Jews of German origin, that separated from the congregation worshipping in Klin street. This Syna gogue is uuuer the puloral care ot the ttev, U. J1. Isaacs, and is called Gates of Prayer.' The Synagogue is fifty feet wido by eighty-five deep exclusive of a semi circular recess in the rear for the Ark. The style is the Byzanlic, winch flourished some centuries back. The front is of brown free stone. After passing through the vestibule and entering the inside, the first thing that a time Is attention is the Bending Desk, which ia of oak, richly carved, although, perhaps, the Ark attracts the greatest attention. There are three steps leading to it and a platform aix feet wide. The doors are of oak, enriched with ivory, and slide back into the wall, in front of which hangs a rich embroidered silk curtain. Two columns and two antes support the arch, crowned with a gabel, reaching to the centre of a large window. The interior is divided into three aisles, the centre aisle being twenty-four feet wide between the columns which support the semi circular arches; the side aisle is "bout twenty-eight feel high, containing the galleries for the ladies. The centre aisle is forty -two eei mgn, ana rauuea ry a ceiling supported by span tic (..rat in me nunouig im limui V,in'U. drils. Ihe Architects, Kidliti & Blesch. The Builders. Pugsley Porreous. The Uuholsterv work and cur- tain by Solomon & Hart. At two o clock the doors were onrned. and in a short timo the house was tilled by boih Jews and Christians. Among the latter were the Rev. Drs. Cox and Wainwngnt. According to tho Jewish custom, the males occupied the lower floor, and the fe male the gallery. F.very person present remained with their lists on, it being considered by the Jews irreverent to uncover the head in the house of Gud. At 3 o'clock an overture was nerformed bv the or- chcslra, composed of members of the Philharmonic Society. The overture was partly founded un the Hebrew melodies, and was composed or arranged, aa was all the music on the occasion, by Mr. E. Wolfe. conductor of the orchestra. The overture was concluded by the opening chorus paraphrased front Psalms, and performed by a large choir, occupying, together with the orchestra, the end gallery opposite the tabernacle. A flourish of trumpets succeeded the chorus, when, from without, the minister, Key. Mr Isaac; the president, tenuis Levy ; and trustees of the congregation and other gentlemen, among whom was the Key. Mr. Iuanr, of Philadelphia, Itev. Mr. Lyons, of Richmond, Rev. Mr. Lyons, and other Jewiah ministers of this city, bearing Irom the vestry chamber the sacred laws, apH-ared in iho. vestibule and knocked at the doors uf the synagogue, ejaculating in Hebrew, and in the stylo of a cliaunt : Open unto us the gates of righteousness, " The Galea of Prayer," that wo may enter through them and offer our grateful houinge to God. 1'he invited ministers within resionded in the same style and language : "This is the gate to the Lord, the righteous enter therein ; enter ye his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise; give thanks unto him ; bless his name I The door was then opened, when Iho minister and bearers of the law entered, exclaiming : How beautiful are thy tents ! O Jacob ! thy talternaclea, O Israel ! O Lord ! 1 love the resting place, the residence of thy glory ! We will enter thy tabernacle ; we will worship at thy foot-stool ! The bearers of the law, the minister being one, consisted of eighteen persona, each of whom rarried in his arms the aypher, which consists of the five hooks of Moscb, neatly engrossed on parchment, with Ihe pen wound in a mil and covered with a rich dress of damask or brocade, and surmounted by rich and costly ornaments of pure gold and silver, to which were attached small bells of gold and silver also. Of course these eighteen By n hers did not all belong to Ihia con gregation, though to each synagogue there generality belongs several. F.ach of the bearers wore the talleth or wh'te scarf over the shoulders, and those of them who were ministers wore black gowns or surplices. As these bearers of the law entered the door chanting, the ministers being in the rear, they passed under a rich crimson canopy, borne by four pages, and under this they, with the remainder nf the procession, mov ed slowly up the aisle towards the sacred ark or tabernacle, the congregation standing, and a trio of Iho choir, Mademoiselle Rachel leading, singing part of tue 1 1 ntn rsaim. When the bearers of the sacred laws had reached near the Tabernacle or place of the Holy Ark (which is always placed at tho eastern extremity of the ay nngogue,) they halted, when the Cohen lighted the Perpetual Lamp which ia suseuded from the arch in front of the Tabernacle, and ia never au tie red to be extinguished, being kept burning by the contributions of the pious. In front of the doors enclosing tho Holy Ark hung the veil, a magnificent piece of embroidered brocade, bearing an inscription in Hebrew, signifying that it wa presented by John M. Davies and lady. Above this was an inscription in Hebrew of the heads of tho ten commandments. When the lamp had been lighted, the veil was drawn aside, ihe doors were opened, and ihe Holy Ark displayed to Ihe wonhipping eon-gregstinn, when tho following service look pi nee in the Hebrew chant : Minister. And it came tn pass when the Ark removed, Miim'I aaid ; Arise, O Lord, let thine enemies le scattered, and cause those that hale thee to fly from thy presence. ( iingrrdioii.

On the morning tucn-eding the lain celebration of the 4tl," one of the Clerks in the l'ost Othce of this city, received a summary cheek on tho tow-path ; and another Clerk in the same office, taking umbrage at the mode of exercising littla niW authority," dismissed himself.

Tho ndministrali n of Mr. Polk plunged tho country into an unnecessary war, with the intention in part no doubt of gaining some eclat by placing itself at the head of a war party. It did not teem to fore sen that there would bo much fiVhting and obviously hud no idea of what has since taken place. It expect ed to cover itself with cheap laurels, and to grow rich upon gasconade But battles have followed, and laurels have been won, though not by them or for thein. We are plunged into a war of conquest, and as one of tho legitimate results of such a war, those who do the work of contguent, arc most in the way uf its spoils. Mr. Polk sent out his reapers and expected them to bind their sheaves of glory and bring thorn in as a gonoral Imrveat ol his own. The harvest of glory ti n been reaped, but the reupcrs neom disposed lo hold on upon it. Mr. Polk and his administration at onco, discovered the uam;er to a republic, of allowing tha military idea to predominate. They stand, like tho fool in the puddle, raising an idiotic cry of distress ovor a dilemma into which they have brought themselves and the country. Will some advocate of tha present war, inform us in whit instance a wir of cnmpiest ever did do tub PKurXK, of the conquering country iuhstauti.il benefit? Is it not the feature of all wars of conquest that suite military chief, or a few military chiefs, are aggrandized with tho glory and the sioils, while the main body of Ilia people are left to pay the expenses? Tho object ion to military men for civil offices, does not penetrate tho dill'multy, but merely sticks in the bark. It is only one of the evils that follow in the (ruin of war. Why stop to inquire about principles? The principle of a war of conquest is not a principle of righty but of pineer. Ilight Ins nothing to do with it. It is meru matter of uduvil tako the hindmost. ' It is an in Kili m te lint for giin, enforced by bayonets and cannon ball. Tho act of setting such a war on foot is demoralizing in nil its tendencies; and justice is thrown in the slndu by the rank growth of rapino. All notions nf equity, all doctrines of peace, are drwnod and overborne by the rattle of arms and the tread of military hosts. It a pitiful and sorry spectacle, to see an administration set on foot such a state of alfiirs: but when the poisoned chalice comes homo to its own lipi, how miserably contemptible do they appear in public ot'unition, by attempting to dig up and mike a show uf the doad body of public virtue ! A brawd teaching virtue, and di'sciuting upon tho proprieties of chastity ! Mr. Polk and his Union objecting to the elevation of inililiry nmn ! Preaching serin ms ah mt dangorom precedents ! If tkrij hid done their duty, thure would he no need of all this preaching. And it is the very least of all the matter to be regretted, that they nru the first to bu hung on the gallows intended fur others. Gen WoolTo tho Ohio Volunteers. tiour.it3:T, July rth, HI7. Wm. fl.

The entire lino of march was accompanied by a smart shower of rain, which pretty thoroughly drenched the military and thoae not protected in carriages. Mayor Quincy, on receiving the President, addressed hun thus : Mit. PltfMhEJT : In behalf of the citiiens of Bos ton, I welcome tho Chief Mngiitrate of thu Union to the metropolis of Massachusetts. I welcome you as officially the representative of those whose fathers stood by ours in thu days ol the Revolution, and of the twenty millions who now with us constitute this great Confederacy. 1 welcome you, as a tale. man, to an acquaintance with the men ami to an examination of the institutions of New England ; to an acquaintance with men whoae industry, intelligence, and en terprise have clothed tins barren soil with plenty, and made it the abode of art and science, of virtue and reli gion; to an examination uf our institutions, pnrlicularly of our free schools, the peculiar institution uf our land, by which, with the blessing of Heaven, we hope to continue a race n intelligent freemen, who Will un derstand, maintain, and trausmil the liberties and virtues uf their lathers to the end of tune. We receive you as we havo received your predecessors in omee, and ask that you will grant to u, as they did, the honor of considering' you the guest of the city, during your slay among us. I o which add reus the rresiueni repueu : Mn. Mayor: For this manifestation of welcome from tho capital of New England, I feel the most ardent sensations of irratitude In the history of my country I have read of your free institutions of learn ing your common schools and it is with no ordinary IVi'linif nl nli-HHiiro tlml I nnv inv firt visit to this trreat city, the ground which these noble in-lilutions Tiavo hallowed as peculiarly their own. v un you, sir, i r.gree thai upon the intelligence and virtue nf the IM'opte depends thu perciuity of the free institutions under which we live ; and 1 hope that during my short sojourn among you I may become personally acquainted with many nf those excellent men who have maile your city so celebrated for its benevolence and liberality.Arrived at his quarters, Iho President was waited upon by (lor. Ilnggs, who having been formally introduced to the President, addressed hun as follows, in behalf of the Commonwealth : Mn. Phkii uf nt : In the name of the citiiens ot Massachusetts, I lender to you, as Chief Magistrate nf the United States, their respect, and bid you welcome to the hospitalities of the Commonwealth. t should be happy, sir, if your official duties would allow you the lime, to go with you throughout our Statu and show you our people and their institutions as they are. 1 should be pleased to have you go among our farmers upon the mountains and in the vullcys.aud upon the distant cape, that you might see the ditlicult.es they have had tn encounter in cultivating a hard, unvieldintf soil, when that sod is com oared in fer tility and productiveness with the rich bottom lands and wide prairies oi yuiir own great " est ; io go into the shops of our mechanics, the factories of our manulaetorers, the. stores o our merchants, ami tne marts of commerce, upon the docks of uur seaports, and upon the dicks of our merchant vessels and well equipped whalo ships; to show you our colleges, aca-di'iui' s, and seminaries of learning, and go into our district school, the cherished objects of the people of the Commonwealth from their rarbest settlement ; and to visit with you the templra of religion erected in every village and neighborhood. 1 know, sir, you would be pleased to witness the raried and persevering industry oi our people. But, sir, while the cilucns of Massachusetts are engaged with untiring jtersevcrancc in those avocations by which they hoH to promote their prosperity and hnppinesa, they remember that they belong to that great family of stales, over whose destiny you now oreside by the sutlrages ol a irea people, lo tins Union our people, individually and as a stale, acknowledge their obligations, and they intend faithfully and always to fulfil those obligations. That Union, under a general government, conducted according to the provisions of tho glorious constitution rslaliliMhcd by the wise patriots of a past generation, Mesdily pro. greasing in the principles of iiltcrty, civiliialmu and Christianity, Ihey trust in Heaven will he perpetual. We shall ever rejoice to see your administration contribute to that important and dcnirahle end. The President replied to the Governor substantially to the following ellect, hut somewhat more at length. Sir: In receiving from you, the chief mngitrale of this ancient commonwealth, the welcome with which you have honored me, 1 am sensible that your purpose is to recognise a great principle. I feel that it is the ott tee wlueli I hold that you wish lo honor, and while you honor it though me, I feel that 1 am but the humble representative of the people for the time th'ing, and that though linn honored, it is only as their accountable aervmit. I hear with deep satisfaction of the prospeity of the the iicuple whom you re present. 1 should he most happy to extend my visit throughout your commonwealth ; to visit your com mon schools, your acsdeiuics and higher seminaries of education i lo visit your workshops, your mauuiacio. nes i to visit your agricultural districts, and wiinesi the prosperous labors of your hmhandmen. All this would give me pleasure, but it would be incompatible with my public duties. In a few days 1 must return lo the seat "I our common government. Your allusion to the Union meet my hearty res ponse. There is an altar at which we may au wor ship. However much we may differ about local or temporary questions of policy, on the question of the Union we are united. Wo are all agree lo preserve it. We recognise the Union, in all our public acts. Wo recognise it now and here. In this imposing wel come, which you have extended to me, I see but Ihe fact that the whole Union is receiving honor from one of the states which form the Union. IJTWe wero thrown quite intoa flutter yesterday by receiving in our bag from the Post Otlice the follow ing Lie tier irom the rublie old friend Major jacn Downing, who seems to havo written it to us for the purpose of communicating to the Public, in his plain way, some views of President VoJ.KYmmg Hick ory, as he delights to call him which that distinguished functionary had not thought necessary to con. iidc to ins most confidential friends before he met with the Major Aut. Intel. On board the Stmmboat on fang Island Sound, hound to Connecticut and Down Fast, Juris ld47. Mr. G a Lit i & Beaton: My Dear old Friends : I and Mr. Buchanan and the rest of us overtook tho President last night at York, where we found him pretty well tuckered out, having got through with all his birds-egging in thateverlastin great city, and ready to push on this morning down t.ast. l was going to write a line to friend Kile hie, as ho's the Government Editor, as soon as I could ketch up with the President, and let him know how the old gentleman stood the journey. But 1 happened to lonk into your paper, and I see brother Ingeraoll, of Philadelphia, sends his letters to you. Tins pux zlrd nie a little at first, because 1 knew he was on Mr. Kitchie's side. But 1 looked along, and 1 see he called your paper a ' powerful journal;" and then the thought struck mn that I had read somewhere that "there's a power behind thu throne greater than tho throne itself." Well, thinks I, that Ingersoll is a cunning feller, but he nil 't a going to get a head of me. If he writes to the power behind Ihe throne, I will loo. So, if Mr. Richie complains, and says 1 ought to wrote to him, I wish you would iust smooth it over to him. and tell him the reason of it, and tell him when the old ship gets on 'tothcr tack, and his paper get on bo- hind, 1 II write to him. As I had come right on from Mexico the shortest cut, and had brought a letter from Gineral Scott to the President, as suon as wc got to York I run right up to the tavern where he stopiied, to give him the letter- Folks told me that he was at the Astor House that great tavern made out of hewed stone. So 1 went up, nnd went in, and asked one of tho waiters if Colonel Polk put up there r ' Is it Jemmy Polk ye mane ; Young Hickory, the President ?" says he. ' Sarlain," says I- " Yes," sava he, " he's hero : up stairs in his room." Says I, ' Show me his chamber as quick as yuu can ; I must see him." "You can't see him to-night," says ho; "Young H ickory is tired out, and can t sea nobody at all at all. Why was'nt ye on hand in the Governor's room if ye wanted to see him ? All the boys had a chance there." Sayg 1, "that's nothing to the pint; 1 was on the road from Washington then, and I'm going tu see the .'resident to-night it 1 havo tu go through tho stone walls of this house for it." Then along come Mr. Slulaon : and says he, " Patrick, what's the ruw here?" " Here's a feller getting wrathy," says Patrick, " because I won't let hun gu up into the President's room. At that Mr. Stutsou turned round to me, and, as soon as he siren me, he kclclied hold of my hand, and, says he, " Major Downing, J am very happy to see you. I'll show you right up to the President's room ui)"elf. I'm sorry yuu wus'nt here before. We've had some very pleasant lea-parties since the President's been here.'" When 1 got into tho President's chamber lie was laying down on the bed lo rest, and looking as tired as a rat that had been drawn through lorty knot holes. But as soon as he see me, he jumped up, looking rather wild, and says he, " Major Downing, how are ye i 1 did nl think of seeing you back from Mexico m soon as this. How does tilings go on there now?" Says I, Colonel, they don't go on hardly at all. They are wailing for mure help. Scott and Taylor both arc growing rather red and angry to think you should chuck 'em away into the middle of Mexico there, and then not send 'em help to fight the way out again. And it seems to me, Colonel, you do hold back in this business a little too much if you don't send 'em help pretty soon, them guerrillas will est our little amnes all up. " Why, Colonel," says 1, if this war had come on in the lime of the old Gineral, my old friend Hickory, he would a had them Mexicans half whipped to death by this time. But there's a letter from Scott, to tell you what he thinks about the business, I come on post haulo to bring it. He says he won t stir from Puehln till you send on mure men to take the place ot all them that coming humo. The President took the letter and read a few lines, and threw it down upon the table ; and, says he. " It no use; Scott may growl and grumble as much as lie s a mma to, hut it s no use. I his wor is a concern uf my own getting up, for my own use, and I shall manage it just as 1 please. Bays fie, " Major Down ing, there's reason in all things. I don't want them Mexicans whipped too fast, especially when ttietn up- utart Generals get all thu glory of it. When I found Taylor was swellin up too large, I meant to a stopped him at Monterey and draw olf a part of his glory on lo Scott. But that Talor is a headstrong chuo. a ilange rous man. He overslept his duty and blundered on tu thai victury at lliiena Vista, that sot everything all in a blaze. 1 shan t overtook it in him very soon. If the selfish ereaturo had only let Santa Anna irive him a handsome licking there, wo might a had peace in a little while, for I had things all arranged with Santa Anna to wind tho business right up tn such a away that we might each of us have made a hand some plum out ot it. But that unpardonable Taylor must cut and slash round with his handful of men, untutored volunteers, that 1 thought were as harmless as a Hock of sheep, and contrive, by that awful hlun-dcr at Buena Vista, tn pour all the fat into the fire. "Well, then, Scott lias nt behaved much better. He's licked the Mexicans too fast by a great sight, and is swelling himself up in thr eyes of thu people shamefully. 1 thought if i could a sent Colonel Benton on there, he would a squecxed the glory out of both of em in a nine wnue, and settled cm down so they would nl a been dangerous. But that vagabond Sen ate would nl let me do il. That was too bad, Major, when them two Generals were atlractingall the glory thai belonged to me, that the Senate would nt let me doanythiug to offset them. But 1 11 let em know that Young Hickory is nt to he beat any more than Old Hick ory was. 1 ve sent Mr. 1 rist on to look after matters and to see that the armies don t go too fast ; for 1 am determined that Scott and Taj lor shan't whip the .'lciicnni any issier man is prudeni. All the glory inni a io come out oi tins war lairiy De longs to me, and I'll have it." ut," says I Colonel, you are a going to send on more men, ain't yon f Or what are you going to do? How are you going tn wind the business up t Says he "Tm too tired tn talk over my plans tonight. Bui there's no need of your going right hack lo Mexico yet. Mr. Tnst is there, and 1 can trust him to look after matters, and yuu better in mo into the boat with us in the morning anil take a trip down East, and wo can talk the subject over at our leisure. About nvn o clock in tho morning Ihe President rameti away at my door, and waked me out of a sound sleep ; and when he found 1 was'nt up, says he " Ma jor, yoU must be spry or you'll be too late, fur we're on at six. 1 was up and dressed about the quickest, and went nut, and fact, there was a quartern!' a mile of soldiers, all ready to ecorl us to the boat. And down we went, through whole streets full of men and women and boys, and gals, of all sorts and sises, some running and crowding, and some hollering and hurrahing, and in a lew moments wo were aboard the stramlioal and the hell rung, and Ihe steamer puffed, and otf we wentun the Sound towards Connecticut. The President had a little room alt to himself, and ho made me go right down into it with him, and he sot down in an cany uhair, and put his feet on another, and says ho, "Major, I'm glad to gel nut of the crowd again ; we u nine a lew hours ut rest ami comiort on this voyage. This Ih'ing President, Major, i mighty hard work ; but after all, I like il. I've had a glorious tune of it in New York. Every body was running after me, and it seems as thoiiuh I bad seen every thing. I leel as though I had lived through a whole year in these three days, and 1 don't Mn-vc any body ever received more honors tn so abort a space of time in this country." " w ell, says 1, " ij olonel, it seems lo me a pity you Md the folks at Baltimore the other day that you should retire when this term was up. You might go two terms, as old Hickory did, just as well as nut, you are so popular. At that he gave ine a luck in the ribs and a sly wink, and, said he, Msjor, don t you understand thai? Telling of em I should'nt stand another term iajust the right way to make 'em the more fierce to have me. Don t you know Anthony said tVsar refused tho crown three times, jt si so as to be more sure of having it placed on Ins hed? And jenl see how Santa Anuais working it now in Mexico. When he gets pretty near run down, and shivering in the wind and nothing to stand umui, be sends in his resignation, with a long patriotic seeeb about shedding ihe last drop of his blood lor his country, and all that, and the cnple refuse to receive Ins rcmgnatinn, and cry out long live Santa Anna ! 1 and away he goes again and drums up another army of soldiers. " But, to tell Ihe truth, Major," said he, " when I made that remark at Baltimore I had some little notion of retiring. Out parly was so cut up, things ooked rather dark ahead, and I find tin Mexican war something uf a bother after all. Taylor and Scott eon t so many blunders, 1 had really then some no- turn of retiring when this b rm is up. But, since I got along tit New York, things seem to look brighter. I'm popular, M.jr; 1 know 1 am. I ahould ul be surprised if the Whigs made a demonstration in my mvor yet. They seemed very fond ot me in new York ; and bo did every body, every body you could mention; even the market-women took me by the hand and called me young Hickory, and gave me lota of fruit. Thore, do you see that pine-apple on the table there f '' says he. "That was given me at the Fulton market, as we were going over to Brooklyn on Saturday. Cutaway, major, and help yourself to it; it's a nice one. And here's a paper of most excellent tobacco," says he, " that was presented lo me at the same time. You go into the nine-apple and I'll go into the tobacco, and then we'll have a little more talk about the war." Jest as wo got cleverly under way thru, sung out aboard tho boat for the passengers to get ready for lauding. So 1 must cut my yarn otf here for the present; but likely as not you'll hear from me again. I our old friend, MAJOR JACK DOWNING. Rapture between Gen. Ncottand the Stnte Department.The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Cuminerce, prepares us in the following letter, for a rupture between Gen. Scott and the State Department : Washington, July 1st, 1847. I have learned to-dsv. from a hich and entirely au thentic source, which I am not at liberty to mention, that Gen. Scott, as the commanding officer of the army, and charged with the invasion of Mexico and the conquest of peace, has determined not to allow any interference with his authority, from Mr. Tristor any other person, whatever may be their instructions irom the mate Uepartment. Acting ascommander-in-chief, he has responsibilities which lie could not sustain under any divided authority. In time of actual war and invasion, and in the presence of a foe, a commander must necessarily use his own discretion iu all intercourse with tho enemy, for all regular diplomatic intercourse is necessarily at an end. The commander becomes, sx necessitate, tho only diplomatist and negotiator. It is for him to hold inch intercourse with the enemy's government as the utiagei of war, in civilized countries, allow. To control his action by any civil agent, would be to deprive him of the authority belonging exclusively to his station, and to retard and embarrass all his operations. It may be considered as certain that Gen. Scott wilt sustain all the rights belonging to his station and peculiar' situation. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Wasimsotoh, July S, ft!7, News has reached this city that the rupture between Oen. Scotland Mr. Trial widens materially. It was well knuwn by leading men in this city, long ago, that Gen. Scoit had anything but an exalted opinion of tins nir. l rist, and mat mr. 1 rist was tar trom being an admirer of Gen Scott. Why, then, was Mr. Trist, in preference to all other man, sent out to Mexico to act in concert with Gen. Scott or to thwart and obstruct the course of that General t When Gen. Scott obtains possession of the city of Mexico, and Santa Anna, who will have escaped, is still found to be the President of the Republic, with whom will the treaty bo made ? If it is made by Gen. Scott, it will bo made only with a bona ids Government of Mexico. There will be no sham or humbug about the matter! II Mr. Trist makesit.it may be made with any sort of irresponsible characters ! The idea that Mr: Trist has already made a treaty with tho Mexicans, which is on its way here, and which idea has been briskly circulated over the country, lias been started, as is suiinoncd, for the benefit of certain stockbrokers! It wuiiido we have no peace yet! POTOMAC. Dedication of thn New Jewish Bynagogne in New York On Friday, the Synagogue, recently erected in Wonater street, between Spring and Prince streets, was dedicated lo the service of Almighty God. bv the Jews of German origin, that separated from the congregation worshipping in Klin street.

The Synagogue is fifty feet wido by eighty-five deep exclusive of a semi circular recess in the rear for the Ark. The style is the Byzanlic, winch flourished some centuries back. The front is of brown free stone. After passing through the vestibule and entering the inside, the first thing that a time Is attention is the Bending Desk, which ia of oak, richly carved, although, perhaps, the Ark attracts the greatest attention. There are three steps leading to it and a platform aix feet wide. The doors are of oak, enriched with ivory, and slide back into the wall, in front of which hangs a rich embroidered silk curtain. Two columns and two antes support the arch, crowned with a gabel, reaching to the centre of a large window. The interior is divided into three aisles, the centre aisle being twenty-four feet wide between the columns which support the semi circular arches; the side aisle is "bout twenty-eight feel high, containing the galleries for the ladies.

Mr. Lyons, and other Jewiah ministers of this city, bearing Irom the vestry chamber the sacred laws, apH-ared in iho. vestibule and knocked at the doors uf the synagogue, ejaculating in Hebrew, and in the stylo of a cliaunt : Open unto us the gates of righteousness, " The Galea of Prayer," that wo may enter through them and offer our grateful houinge to God. 1'he invited ministers within resionded in the same style and language : "This is the gate to the Lord, the righteous enter therein ; enter ye his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise; give thanks unto him ; bless his name I The door was then opened, when Iho minister and bearers of the law entered, exclaiming : How beautiful are thy tents ! O Jacob ! thy talternaclea, O Israel ! O Lord ! 1 love the resting place, the residence of thy glory ! We will enter thy tabernacle ; we will worship at thy foot-stool ! The bearers of the law, the minister being one, consisted of eighteen persona, each of whom rarried in his arms the aypher, which consists of the five hooks of Moscb, neatly engrossed on parchment, with Ihe pen wound in a mil and covered with a rich dress of damask or brocade, and surmounted by rich and costly ornaments of pure gold and silver, to which were attached small bells of gold and silver also. Of course these eighteen By n hers did not all belong to Ihia con gregation, though to each synagogue there generality belongs several. F.ach of the bearers wore the talleth or wh'te scarf over the shoulders, and those of them who were ministers wore black gowns or surplices. As these bearers of the law entered the door chanting, the ministers being in the rear, they passed under a rich crimson canopy, borne by four pages, and under this they, with the remainder nf the procession, mov ed slowly up the aisle towards the sacred ark or tabernacle, the congregation standing, and a trio of Iho choir, Mademoiselle Rachel leading, singing part of tue 1 1 ntn rsaim. When the bearers of the sacred laws had reached near the Tabernacle or place of the Holy Ark (which is always placed at tho eastern extremity of the ay nngogue,) they halted, when the Cohen lighted the Perpetual Lamp which ia suseuded from the arch in front of the Tabernacle, and ia never au tie red to be extinguished, being kept burning by the contributions of the pious. In front of the doors enclosing tho Holy Ark hung the veil, a magnificent piece of embroidered brocade, bearing an inscription in Hebrew, signifying that it wa presented by John M. Davies and lady. Above this was an inscription in Hebrew of the heads of tho ten commandments. When the lamp had been lighted, the veil was drawn aside, ihe doors were opened, and ihe Holy Ark displayed to Ihe wonhipping eon-gregstinn, when tho following service look pi nee in the Hebrew chant : Minister. And it came tn pass when the Ark removed, Miim'I aaid ; Arise, O Lord, let thine enemies le scattered, and cause those that hale thee to fly from thy presence. ( iingrrdioii.
